Hi ,
I am facing a strange problem in my code
I have written a shell script to automate ftp using .netrc file
here is the portion of code
ftp -i ${DomainName} 2>wcs_ftp_err.tmp 1>myfile <<_EF_
bin
cd "${SourceDirectory}"
lcd "${InputDirectory}/${MfgSiteName}/input"
get "${InputFileName}"
bye
_EF_
and the problem is
Sometimes it exits without any failure message after running for a long
time
even the the script also gets terminated , i.e the code after this also
is not getting executed
any idea it seems that ftp is getting stucked and nothing is
working
anything is appreciated
Shihab

maybe the ftp server wants passive access. So do:

ftp -i ${DomainName} 2>wcs_ftp_err.tmp 1>myfile <<_EF_
bin
passive
cd "${SourceDirectory}"
lcd "${InputDirectory}/${MfgSiteName}/input"
get "${InputFileName}"
bye
